1
what are considered the 5 basic senses?
sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing
2
Name some senses
**he said he will not test us on this, but this is just thought provoking**
~Touch
~Sight
~Smell
~Taste
~Hearing
~Proprioception/ kinesthi
~Pain (visceral)
~Hunger/ satiety (visceral)
~Bowel/Bladder
~Temperature
~Tired/ malaise
~Vibration
~Thirst
~Need to breath
~Nausea
~Barognosis
3
what are the 2 main tracts that carry touch back?
~Dorsal column
~Anterolateral of spinothalamic tract
4
dorsal column- can also be called
medial lemniscus
5
sensory info traveling in dorsal column
~Proprioception
~Vibration
~light touch
~discriminatory touch
6
spinothalamic tract
anterolateral
7
sensory info traveling in Anterolateral of spinothalmic tract
~crude touch
~temperature
~pain
8
temperature can be easily tested by
asking the pts if your hand are cold/hot
9
Proprioception can be easily tested by
~move one arm to a position with eyes closed
~have him move the other arm to the same position (the joint know the position)
10
Vibration can be easily tested by
test with toning forks
11
Light touch can be easily tested by
~cotton (up and down so that hair does not get involved)
~monofilament possibly
12
Discrimination touch can be easily tested by
~2 pt discrimination
~2 sharp pts
~more in hands and face, less in back and thighs
13
Cortical sensory
~Traced figure (graphesthesia)- ~Stereognosis
~Double simultaneous
14
How to test for Graoheselsia?
draw an upper case figure somewhere on the back, etc
15
How to test for Sterognosis?
know if you are holding something, how much you are holding
16
How to test for Double simultaneous?
~different sides of the body at the same time (can be light touch, sharp, etc)
~Test bilateral, eyes closed, test randomly
17
Kinesthetic- meaning and how to test
~feeling the change of the length of tissue
~move the joint (lengthen or shorten the muscles) and pt should be able to tell us which direction we are moving them in
~Hold on sides of limb, so the pt cannot tell which direction you are moving it based just on pressure on limb.
~Could ask where in space the limb is
~Don’t have to have limb moving at that point
18
What is Proprioception?
feeling joint angle or position
19
Different types of sensations (or lack of)
~Anesthesia
~Hypoalgesia
~Hyperalgesia
~dysesthesia
~allodynia
~thigmesthesia
~thigmanestheia
~trichoesthesia
~pallesthesia
~pallanesthesia
~stereognosis
~asterognosis
20
Anesthesia
Loss of sense
21
Hypoalgesia
painful stimuli but mutes sensation (when you break your arm, you have a lessen pain then you should)
22
Hyperalgesia
heightened sensation to a painful stimuli (when you break your arm, you have an increase pain then you should)
23
dysesthesia
unpleasant or painful cutaneous sensory stimulus; pins and needles, etc
24
allodynia
~pain from non-noxious stimuli
~you sense pain from a non-noxious stimuli (when a person rests their hand on your shoulder, it is painful)
25
thigmesthesia
ability to feel light touch
26
thigmanestheia
inability to feel light touch
27
trichoesthesia
ability to feel the deflection of hair
28
pallesthesia
ability to feel vibration
29
pallanesthesia
inability to feel vibration
